As our Heta Belarus Dzietka book has become more known among Belarusians and we've been getting so much positive and encouraging feedback from our vast readers (in Belarus and abroad!) - that we feel it is time to celebrate more Belarusian uniqueness! With TWO more BOOKS!

First book: we feel it is a part of our mission to involve children into getting to know their Belarusianness and Belarusian language. That is why our next task is to write a children’s book. More specifically: a Belarusian fairy tale for children and grownups (“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.” ―C.S. Lewis). This fairy tale will be based on an Belarusian folklore fairy tale with a modern Heta Belarus dzietka twist.

Second book: knowing where we came from and our history is a very important for shaping our identity. Yes, very philosophical indeed! But it is for this reason we got very curious about the Belarusian history. We would love to tell our friends about some important historical moments Belarusian people have lived through. Therefore Marta and Masha will have to go back in time and report on the period of Russian empire and Grand Duchy of Lithuania, but in a fun and exciting way! So our second mission is create a bundle of short stories about important historical moments for the Belarusian population, Heta Belarus Dzietka style!

In order to write these new books we, of course, need funds, 6000 dollars to be exact (we will have to spend at least 8 months to write, translate, publish and market these books). Because we believe that Heta Belarus dzietka is a product for all Belarusians, we choose crowdfunding as a means to provide all our readers with the opportunity to invest in our product and thus in our mission of Celebrating Belarusian uniqueness.

So what is this crowdfunding, I hear you think. Crowdfunding involves raising money, usually in small amounts, from a large number of people. In this way a starting organisation or a project can get funding from their network instead of going to a bank or robbing one.

The way crowdfunding usually works is this: you, the initiator, pre-sell your product that does not exist yet, and people can buy it on the crowdfunding platform. After you have risen the target amount you needed you can start making the product. But there is also another way, Heta Belarus dzietka way! Instead of making our supporters pay for the 2 books that do not exist yet, we have decided to use this opportunity and sell our existing book together with a new Heta Belarus dzietka product made by the best Belarusian handmade designers (like Vitalina Gordievska)! So by purchasing one of our packages you actually invest in the making of the two books.

On the30th of March at 12.00we will start our crowdfunding campaign on a Belarusian crowdfunding platformUlej.by. During these nerve-racking50 daysour team will be organizing different events, flashmobs, presentation and more surprising actions in Minsk and different regions. Each week we will celebrate another theme: Traveling, Diplomats, Ecology, Food, Money and more! And we want you to Celebrate with us! How? By following us, by spreading the word about our campaign and of course by purchasing a great Heta Belarus dzietka package.
​Let’s make it happen!: Heta Belarus dzietka! #hetaCFdzietka
